A QR code, or Quick Response code, is a 2-dimensional barcode that stores information and can be scanned with a smartphone.

When scanned, the code connects the user to the information it contains. For example, the user can open a URL in their web browser, check in to a location, or unlock a special offer.

QR Codes can be utilized in various ways. Here are some popular use cases:

  • Product Packaging: Use QR Codes to share offers, link to a website, or provide additional product information.
  • Asset Tracking: Streamline the process of monitoring and managing assets with QR Codes.
  • Business Cards: Add a QR Code to instantly share your digital Vcard with contacts.
  • Print Marketing: Include QR Codes to make it easy for users to access your website or landing pages.

These are just a few use cases of QR Codes. There’s so much more we can do with them

QR codes function similarly to barcodes, but their 2D pattern allows them to store more data.

While both can hold the same information, a barcode would need to be extremely long and impractical to match the storage capacity of a compact QR code.

This makes QR codes ideal for handling complex data like URLs, contact details, or Wi-Fi credentials, all within a small, scannable space.
